The Housing Crisis And Wall Street Shame (Or Lack Thereof)
Commented Nov 29, 2009 at 22:35:14 in Business
“In Tumwater Washington, in the older areas, there are rental signs everywhere, enough to be alarming. It seems that those who made greed the thing of the day, need to pay a heavy price for their misdeeds.”

“Bob, you got it right. How can we all make it happen? There are a lot of frustrated people out there.
My Mom passed away in October, had a nice condo (here it fetch 275,000. The estate owes 150,000. Can only sell it for $140,000, so short deed time. She lost all her General Motors stock (my family are all from Flint and living in the outskirts in Flushin). When estates loose so much, it means the heirs who would have a tendency to their inheritance on improvements around the home, won't be able to, unless the Estate is worth at least a mil.. You get the picture.”

“Beethoven is eternal at least to those of us who a gift. He endlessly delights, he is transparent, a hoot, a man with heart, who believed in brotherhood and celebrated it. Not every piece he work was a masterpiece, who among us creates a one every time.
Inspiration is the key. Out of the mind where you spend your time, down to the heart. The heart, that thing within us, that when touched, brings forth emotion and tears. Some hearts are behind great walls, some are not.
Like those of us with an eye or a ear, offended by the banality of this time or anytime, know that the breaking of habits and perspective, brings forth vision. Some of us are shamans, storytellers, music makers, pleasure enhancers. Pleasure is in the body. For many of us Beethoven is endless pleasure.”

“Completely false, we DID NOTsupply Saddam Hussian with chemical weapons.
Italy gave Iraq 75,000 shells and rockets designed for chemical weapon use.
Brazil secretly provided Iraq with about 100 tons of mustard gas. The United Kingdom paid for a chlorine factory that was used for manufacturing mustard gas.
An Austrian company gave Iraq heat exchangers, tanks, condensers, and columns for the Iraqi chemical weapons infrastructure, 16% of the international sales. Singapore gave 4,515 tons of precursors for VX, sarin, tabun, and mustard gasses to Iraq. The Dutch gave 4,261 tons of precursors for sarin, tabun, mustard, and tear gasses to Iraq. Egypt gave 2,400 tons of tabun and sarin precursors to Iraq and 28,500 tons of weapons designed for carrying chemical munitions. India gave 2,343 tons of precursors to VX, tabun, Sarin, and mustard gasses. Luxembourg gave Iraq 650 tons of mustard gas precursors. Spain gave Iraq 57,500 munitions designed for carrying chemical weapons. In addition, they provided reactors, condensers, columns and tanks for Iraq’s chemical warfare program, 4.4% of the international sales. China provided 45,000 munitions designed for chemical warfare.”

“Can you present evidence to support your allegation?
Preferably in properly punctuated and complete sentences.
There is nothing illegal about forming a corporation.
There is nothing illegal about becoming it's CEO.
As the CEO of a private sector business it is not anyone's business (except his board of directors and share-holders) how big a bonus he received.
It certianly is not your business -- unless you are a stock-holder.
It is not illegal to receive a bonus.
Fact: Iraq oil remains in Iraqi control. No material resources have been sequestered or moved across international boarders -- except under the legal agreements governing international trade, trade which profits Iraq.”

“Dear congregation and deacons’
I am writing to you due to the destrubing information coming our way.
We know you are not approving of homosexuals and that you have been working against the equal rights, under the law, that gays have been fighting for these many decades.
We also know you are trying to repeal the recent domestic rights granted under legislation this year.
As a former licensed preacher, I recoil in the unchristian like manner of your behavior.
Perhaps it’s time that you stepped back and acquainted yourselves with the master’s words.
You cannot say “we love you” and then stab that person or persons you are staying that to, in the back with a sharp sword and in the final stroke behead them.
Christ would not have done that, nor would he even suggest such an evil and vile act such as that.
Now, in light of your desire to inherit the king of God, I tell you with all sincerity that that is the wrong approach. Your current campaign against same sex orientated persons is the sure key to hell and damnation.”

“Well put. I believe that a great many people in this country, a morgity have that view point.
This is almost like we are taking away a freedom from the wing nuts on the right. Like their hate is protected under the constitution What are they afraid of? Themselves? They are not even Christians but wolves in sheeps clothing. Wily even. howling deep into the night.
They don't even see American as their country.

“most northern racist do nor know what racism is and thus deny it. Iknow I grew up in a white middle class home (wasp). Their prime issues was avoiding pYaying their fair SHARE OF TAXES. Skimming is what is called and it is institutionalized amongst republicans.
I believe that the repugs are exploiting the worst aspects of human behavior and fears. I believe the party is the party of racist. I believe racist are in both parties.
For some reason I found the words used in relation to AA repugnant. My step grandmother taught in a Junior high school with a mixed student body and hervher view the most disgusting.
I was different, a homo and of course I became one of those persons. The repugsr have descended into hell. When Reagan was electedthe maddhatters of religion took over the party.
This country is not as polarized as it was . This country is however still engaged in a civil war and that is the over riding issue. Religious racist are by far the worse.”
